For the first time in many years I was intrigued by a new release by Filofax. While their Classic Croc certainly looked nice, I have never been a fan of printed (and painted) leather. This time, with the Heritage line, curiosity was peaked enough for me to…

I am going to start by saying that I absolutely adore this binder. It is not perfect and it most likely is too rudimentary for a lot of people, but it might just be a perfect match for me.
I ordered mine directly from the Il Bisonte web site, which at the …

I finally got around to ordering my first binder from Van der Spek and was lucky enough to have it arrive just in time for Christmas. I’ve used it for a few weeks now and thought I would publish my thoughts on it. I’ve mainly used binders from Gillio f…

For many years my favourite diary layout has been the week-on-two-pages, which I’ve made myself since 2012. One problem with this variant is the limited space allotted to each day, which I mostly worked around by adding a blank page as needed. I once…

I’ve made Alfie, my diary-generating python script, a little nicer. It can now generate five different layouts for your pleasure: a single one week on one page with notes and four different one week on two pages. Now, it also tries to typeset the La…
